My old Callaway wrench from a few years back works just fine to adjust the new Epic. The 9-degree driver we tested can be moved anywhere to have 8 to 11 degrees of loft in one-degree increments. The adjustability of the Epic is same as it was for their previous drivers. Callaway has claimed that this weight can help a golfer change about 450 rpm of sidespin or 21 yards of directional difference. you can slide this weight to help adjust for a fade or draw bias. The designers used this discretionary weight in the 17-gram adjustable weight in the back of the club. This combination is designed to provide maximum forgiveness while saving precious weight. With the triaxial carbon construction Callaway paired a lightweight but strong titanium Exo-Cage. These changes not only save the necessary weight, but also lower the center of gravity. ![]() Carbon is also found in the sole of the club to remove weight from the middle of the club. The Epic crown is 30 percent thinner than crowns Callaway had used previously and over 60 percent lighter than the titanium crown used in last years’ XR16 driver. Since they’ve added the Jailbreak rods, they had to save the weight somewhere, so Callaway designed the crown with a single carbon-composite crown weighing only 9.7 grams. Though Jailbreak is the headline feature of the Epic, Callaway didn’t stop with the technological improvements there. The Jailbreak technology behind the face of the Epic. This technology isn’t visible on the crown, where they’ve hidden the connecting points, but on the sole it’s visible in the form of two circles – the ends of each of the “bars” or rods comprising the “jail” cell. More energy into the ball equals more ball speed, or so that is what they are marketing. This transfers energy to the ball rather than into the crown or sole. To conserve energy, Callaway has inserted two 3G Titanium bars to create a strong bond between the crown and the sole to keep the bulging to a minimum. This bulging results is a loss of energy in the clubface. At impact, the face of the driver deforms and pushes up and back on the crown, and down and back on the sole. Does the Epic deliver on its promise? Just how much does Jailbreak technology boost your distance? Read on to find out.Īs mentioned, the main technology innovation in the Epic driver is what Callaway refers to as “Jailbreak” technology. It certainly created a lot of buzz in December and early January. With the promise of extra ball speed off the face of the club, the Epic ma be the most anticipated driver of 2017. ![]() Well, Callaway has been working on the new technology for some time now and were able to get their newest driver, the Great Big Bertha Epic, on the USGA’s conforming list.
